Talking Back i'm Church.

From the Pittsburo Dispatch.
Miss Emma Abbott attracted good deal OF at
tentiOn in church at Nashville the other day
and has also received good deal OF notice through
out the country, by getting up in meeting and re-
plying In rather vigorous language to the sweep
ing and exaggerated assertions of sermon
against the theater, which had just been de-
nvered. Doubtless her prOvOcation was great;
but the sober consideration OF the circumstances
Is likely to create question whether the act was
exactly suited either to the place or the occa-
sion.
Let us turn the matter around and see how 1t fits.
Last spring, when that energetic little singer Was
In PittSburg, she accepted the most public oppOr-
tunit1es tor denOunc1ng that "horrid and outrage
GUS interstate commerce law, because she had to
pay extra charges on her baggage. Her talk was
an exhibition OF even wilder ignorance concerning
the law than the Nashville clergyman showed con-
corning the stage Suppose some one had inter-
rupted one OF Miss AbbottS performances to pro-
test that she had been slanderng wise enact
ment that only sought to enforce the principles OF
simple justice In the transportation Of the country
Would not the interrupting individual have been
Kissed down, and would not Miss AbbOtt'S man.
ayers have ordered him to be elected from the
hOuSe2
1t is the general understanding that clergymen
have the right to talk from their pulpitS and actors
from the Stage without interruption. We cannot
see how IL Is any better for Miss Abbott to have
talked back in church because she diSapproved OF
the sermon than 1t would have been for clergy
man TO have tried to talk at the Opera House be-
cause he disapproved OF 'Traviata" or "Rigoletto"

The Crown Princes Throat.
IT rs AGAIN ASSERTED THAT HE Is SUFFERING FROM
SMOKERS CANCER.


Dr.. Wolfred Nelson, OF New York, who has Just
returned from Germany, says that when he was in
Baden-Baden, few days ago, he was assured by
physicians and other gentlemen who had trust
worthy sources Of Information that the condition
OF the Crown Prince Frederick is unquestiOnably
precariOus. 1t is admitted now that he Is suffer-
Ing from cancer OF the throat, known as tobacco
smokers cancer The case is very similar to that
OF Gen. Grant. The prince was for many years an
inveterate smoker. In spite Of all official opinions
TO the contrary, German physicians consider the
prince already doomed man. The very severe
caustfcs used have destroyed not only the tissue
primarily affected, but the parts themselves.
conservative Germans, Dr. Nelson added, view
the probability OF the crown princes early demise
with much alarm. The emperor is liable to die at
any time. With the crown prince as the empe-
rors successor it is believed thata peaceful policy
would be maintained and that BSmarck'S infiu-
ence would be less predominant. But II he Is at
deaths door the imperial power will soon fall to
Prince William, the crown princes eldest son. He
Is warrior, and Is tmpetuouS and fiery. Much
apprehension Is therefore felt in regard to Ger
manys proximate future.

New Hampshire's Railroad Fight.
SENATOR SAWYER REPEATS THE CHARGE THAT AN
ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO BRIDE HIN.

In the New Hampshire senate yesterday Senator
sawyer made a statement reviewing the proceed
fngs OF the various committees which Investigated
the bribery charges, and repeated his charge that
an attempt was made to bride him. He protested
against the action OF the senate In tabling both
the majority and minority reports OF their investi
cations, and demanded that the reports be taken
from the table, and that either the one that sus-
talns his charges Of bribery, or the other, which
reflects upon himself by finding those charges
unsustained, should be adopted.
The senate passed the bill authorizing the Boston
and Maine Railroad to guarantee the covenants OF
the Boston and Lowell Railroad in its lease OF the
Northern Railroad, and ratifying the lease OF the
Manchester and Lawrence road to the Boston ana
Maine for fifty years The Hazen bill has been
engrossed and Is now in possession of the joint
committee on engr0SSed bills.
